Beep........Beep......
Ginny's eyes fluttered open and she reached over to the table and turned off her alarm clock. It was exactly 6 o'clock and she felt great. What happened last night? Because I got to bed late last night. Well late for me. Oh yea. Draco. She thought about it as she got up and went to take a shower. She got her favorite shampoo; rose flavor, and went into her bathroom. She locked the door that connected to Travis's room and took a nice long shower. By the time she got out it was 6:45 and she did a drying spell and went back to her room. She got dressed, wearing a tight black t-shirt under her uniform shirt, which she didn't bother to button up, and picked a short skirt. She had grown up over the summer and almost all the hand-me-downs were too small or too short (a/N: I forgot to add that the 1st ch. Sry!). She grabbed her robe and went down to the common room. She looked around for Arwen but didn't see the kitten. Where is that darn cat? Oh yeah! Draco probably has her. I'll bring her something back from breakfast.
She walked to Great Hall and located Brittany. Barely anybody was in the Hall mainly because it was the first day and not a lot of people would get up and be ready to eat by 7:00. She sat across from Brittany and they talked about new gossip (Duh! What else!) and couples that had gotten together over the summer. Travis came in after a while and sat next to Brittany, across from Ginny. They still chatted about people, even though they were finished breakfast. Ginny got a bowl of milk for Arwen and a piece of toast too. She left her two friends and made her way to her dorm.
She said the password (White Wizard) and stepped inside.
"Arwen! Here kitty, kitty! I got you some breakfast! Here Arwen!" Ginny called, setting her kitten's food on the table. "CAT! Come here now, sweet!"
"Gosh, Red! Some people aren't exactly morning people. Besides you should know that I have your cat." Draco said, stretching and trying to balance the kitten on his head from the bottom of the stairs.
"Oh yeah. I'm sorry. I forgot." Ginny said sarcastically. "Here, Arwen. Mommy got you some breakfast. Here kitty!"
"Oh Brother, Weasley!" Draco said as he went back up the stairs towards the bathroom.
She left the cat eating her breakfast and went to her room to grab her bag. She checked to see if she had gotten everything and went back down stairs. She gave Arwen a quick pat on the head and headed towards her first class, Advanced Potions.

Draco headed upstairs after taking Arwen downstairs. She had visited him at 2 in the morning and curled up on the top of his head. He let her sleep there because that was what his old cat, Kenshin. But his father had killed the kitten when Draco didn't get top marks in school. He had loved his cat, well as much as a Malfoy could love a 'lesser' living thing. His dad had dropped it off the top of his Manor and no cat could have survived that high a fall. He even made Draco watch and he could do nothing.
He took a quick shower and grabbed his bag and went down to his Potion's class, grabbing the piece of toast that Arwen hadn't eaten.
" Sorry, Ar. But thanks."

"I know all of have done your essay that is due." Snape said, looking over the students in his class. Slytherin and Gryffindor were together again as usual.
Students got their essays out and passed them up. Snape snatched them from Hermione, who was sitting in the front with Harry.
"Mr. Weasley, would you care to explain where your essay is? Hmm?" Snape said, walking towards Ron's desk, which was covered with Ron's homework done over the summer. Ron emptied out his bag and still no essay.
"I don't know, sir. It's not here." Ron answered, looking up at his Potion's teacher.
"Well then you will have to write a 5 inch essay instead of a 2 inch one. Along with tonight's homework as well. Oh and twenty points from Gryffindor." Snape said with a grin.
Draco turned his head to look at Ron. He looked so defeated. Heh. Stupid Weasley. Bet he didn't even do the essay.
"Mr. Malfoy, would you please care to pay attention." Snape boomed, awaking Draco from his thoughts. "As I was saying, copy down the procedure from the board and do the potions as directed. Homework is to write a 1- inch essay on the antidote. Now get to work." Snape said as he sat down behind his desk and started to read an extra-large book.
Potions went along smoothly for Ginny. It was a rather simple potions and the essay she could do in a heartbeat. Hopefully all my classes today are this easy. she thought as she took a vial of her potion to Snape's desk.
Just as Ginny wished, all of her class went well. She went back up to her dorm after her last class to set her bag down. She patted Arwen on the head and went to meet Brittany in the Gryffindor common room. They both caught Travis on his way to the Great Hall and they went to sit in their usual seats. They ate and talked about their homework. Ginny finished up and after saying a quick bye to Travis and Brittany, headed to get her bag to go to the library to do her essays. She didn't notice someone get up right after she left the Hall.
I should at least try to be her friend. I mean if I love her and I do, I should at least try to be friends and then go from there. I could send her little notes. But I'm just not ready to sign my name he thought as he followed her into the library.
Ginny found the book on the antidote from Snape's potion. The potion was a simple invisibility potion with a quick antidote. She finished that and put the book back. She set to work on her Transfiguration essay, which was about changing a toad into a cup. She mastered that in class first and now had to do an essay on it because most people weren't able to in class. She also finished that with ease. She put all her stuff into her bag and she looked around. No one was in the library, well no one she knew or saw anyway. She picked up her bag and slung it on her shoulder. She checked to make sure she got everything and set off towards her dorm.
He watched her leave and wished he could get the courage to talk to the girl of his dreams.
--a/N: Hope ya like this chapter. It took a while, for me anyway. Still don't know who is following Ginny? Hmm..
cleopatra-black : The title Shadow was when I first wanted to make Ginny gothic but I decided against it but I still liked the name. And I don't know why people aren't reading it? heh-- just kiddin!
Mia: Hey thanks again! Hope you liked this chapter!
Sizarie: I get what you're saying and I agree. I guess I didn't think of that when I started—I'll put in reasons but the only person who I don't have a reason for is Draco because Ron and Ginny's reasons are in the little flashback thingy! Anyway thanks for reviewing and tell me if I didn't help ya!
